2010 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ

2010 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ
2010 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ - Automobile Magazine
The Malibu continues to be an entry that anyone shopping for a family sedan ought to have on their consideration list.

The Malibu's only major shortcoming, as I see it, is the lack of a navigation system. Chevy likes to point out that its OnStar service provides turn-by-turn directions, and that's true. But the competition, Ford in particular, has done an excellent job branding its uplevel electronics as more than simply GPS. In cars like the Fusion and the Nissan Altima, attractive LCD screens do more than display maps -- they're lifestyle centers. Although the Malibu does have all the necessary features, including Bluetooth connectivity, satellite radio, and a USB input, it lacks the glossy telematics to tie all these capabilities together.
